Basic parameters of the graph are being defined in the Graph configuration dialog box - Basic tab.
A text string describing the graph. Description along with the name will be displayed in the list
of graphs.
Possibility to use the Dictionary (to open press CTRL+L).
The parameter allows to define an application help page to be opened after pressing the key F1 while the graph is active. If the parameter is not defined, there will be opened the standard D2000 help.
Length | Time length determines the range of horizontal time axis (x-axis). |
Time shift | The parameter Time shift relates to a time length. It sets a periodic beginning of time axis.
If time shifts is e.g. 1 hour then time axis will begin with whole hour. The parameter is enabled, if the parameter Live data is checked. |
Alignment | The parameter determines a periodic beginning of the time axis. If the parameter is e.g. 1 hour,
the time axis will begin by a whole hour. The parameter is enabled, if the parameter Live data is NOT checked. |
The parameters allow to define the contents at most 6 columns of the graph table. There are the following options:
Note: For graphs containing live data (the parameter Live data is checked), there are evaluated all values within the time interval including last value. Last value of non-periodic data is not evaluated.
Live data | The parameter allows automatic drawing the flows of the objects, values of which are being changed in time (live data). |
XY graph | If the option is marked, it is XY graph, otherwise it is the time graph. |
Maximum lines that are displayed in the table below graph. If there are defined more flows in the graph, they will be available through the scrollbar.
Controls as popup | Disables the display of control buttons in graph. They are replaced by a popup menu with the control buttons. This menu opens after right clicking on the area for drawing the description of axes in graph. |
Graph table | Shows / hides the descriptive graph table. The button has three states and enables to configure two ways of hiding the table in connection with the size of graph window. First way enables to hide / show the table after clicking . It is indicated by grey / yellow color of table icon in the graph. The second one enables to hide the table after the graph window is reduced, which is indicated by dark grey / red color of icon. |
Grid | Shows / hides the grid. |
Description of Y-axis | Enables / disables the description of Y-axis if is defined (the parameter Axis description in the Axis configuration dialog box). |
Axis levels | Displaying graphs on different levels according to the membership to a particular axis. Note: If no graph is bound to an axis, the axis (and the level belonging to it) is not displayed. |
Object levels | Displaying graphs on different levels according to the membership to an explicitly specified level - which can be set in graph configuration dialog box. |
Without spaces | A space without data is not drawn (removed from graph).
The size is set in a spin box. It relates to every flow which does not contains
any data. The removed section starts from a rounded time according to section
size and takes up to an integral multiple of the section size. If this value is 0 (zero), this feature is disabled. It can be activated from script when setting the interval on value higher then 1 minute. |
Pointer | Shows / hides the pointer. |
